I reckon close may be about the best outcome ?

But when I am ready I will ask whoever is doing it, what should I do ?

Well, Racepace could make the catback part, workshop could make the turbo to cat...

Unless they can offer you a queitish freeflowing exhaust.

I don't know personally, I've got a straight through 4", Have always thought about RP 4" since piggaz and nismoid used to talk about them.

I don't aim for legal anymore when it comes to exhaust. A friend of mine swapped back to the standard system in his S15 and only passed by 1dB.

bit of a joke really.

Rules I follow:

aim for quiet enough to not arouse police attention while idling at an RBT

Quiet enough to not wake the neighbors as they can report you to EPA using the new app

If you can't chat to your passenger while idling in traffic or cruising at 120 it's too loud.

Don't drive in the city on Friday or Saturday nights. Don't be so stupid as to cruise through Kings Cross

most importantly:

No. f**king. Cannons.

It is possible to have a quiet system that makes good power. External wastegate vented to atmosphere will help tremendously.

just out of curiosity would a thick walled exhaust pipe be quieter?

Except external gates vented to atmos are even more illegal then being too loud.. And they sound gheyyy as f**k

put a baby seat in the back pete, you can use it to carry beer home and stuff so it still has a purpose lol.. a person with babies doesn't modify car cause that's not responsible :laugh:

this except the screamer(i dont like gate).

My 4" is fairly quiet.

Have had cops cruise behind me and keep moving.

It's not legal(i think it would be close ish.)

And i have mild steel, apparently quieter than stainless(was told by exhaust shop).

You run 4" all the way , dump to tip, what Cat and Muffler do you have, I have no idea what mine is, I asked for a quiet one and they had a mob custom a 3.5" stainless one for me , but did shit all with the dump and cat ?

Have you had yours tested for the DB level ?

I still think a quietish exhaust can still sound OK :/ but I still love a good GROWL :)

What did you have on before the 4" ?

Nice, that is basiclly how i look at it to

And no, thick wall is louder where it matters, out the back as the noise can not escape till it exits exhaust, thin wall or mild steel wrapped in heat wrap is quietist and the reason i went mild steel for my 4", just waiting for gearbox to arrive to finsih wrapping it

I had a Jap 80mm catback before this and this is a lot quieter, good quality mufflers make a big difference, Windsor Exhaust did mine and they custom made the mid muffler for me

i can't remember having it tested, but fairly quiet.

Just prior to this, had a stainless twin 3 with catch ceramic cats in single 4.

Very noisy.

Approx test level of 105db.

The cat in currently using is a 5" metal cat, don't know brand sorry.

I will try and get a pic of the mufflers today.

They are branded, just can't remember what brand.

And I'd estimate test would show approx 98-100db.

I love that you can still just hear the wastegate open.

Just....

Windsor exhaust also made mine, not custom mufflers, but still very happy with the work.

Well priced too.

They make car-truck exhausts, so 4" isn't that big for them.

Cool. Yeah my logic behind the screamer pipe is that if you're on boost near a highway patrol car it won't matter whether your waste gate is plumbed in. I just like the idea of an extra 2" Exhaust to help with flow when you need it.

Although it would suck to get epa'd and have one extra thing to worry about

umm no.

basically, modifying cars aren't legal. pretty much everything changed on your car, my car and the car of everyone else on these forums have illegal mods.

what you need is not attracting attention.....not too loud, careful where and when you go, and don't drive like a dickhead.

Shit!

Thats a worry :(

plenty of 8second VL turbo's on the youtube that are quiet enough, only noisy RB's seem to be ones without proper mufflers on

this is daily driven 10second R34 that's quiet enough

I've seen that Mercury motorsport R34 in person, its driven daily and I doubt the cops would give it any attention due to sound outputs..

A lot of them are only noisy when at full throttle/revs, driven normal they are quiet enough, its pretty logical

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
